silk-screen at home
While searching for info on Print Gocco supplies, I discovered a new material called StencilPro. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like a great way to silk screen t-shirts and projects from home when you don't have access to supplies or a dark-room.Exposing the film to strong light changes the film from a water-dissolvable material to a water-resistant one. The material you can use to make the image on the film needs to be able to effectively block light from passing through it. Any monochrome image printed from a computer can be used. Strong, direct sunlight is the quickest and the cheapest way to expose the screen. Cool white, full-spectrum or bright daylight fluorescent light sources will both work.
The starter kit is only $20 on their site and you can use standard screen-printing inks, which seems like an affordable and accessible option compared to other at-home kits out there.
